Water-assisted ground state intra-molecular proton transfer in 2,5-dihydroxy-substituted azobenzenes: experimental and computational studies

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/C8CE01878B

Herein, the phenomenon of ground-state proton transfer in a series of 2,5-dihydroxy azobenzene derivatives was studied. The mechanism of proton transfer in a dimethylacetamide (DMA)-water mixture was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy. Time-dependent den
